my father had said?

"You should be castrated, cut it away

and that's that"

Bastard

Just cut it away, then you'd be

like I am

Then it would be all over between us

What use would you be to me,

none

Frankly...

He is no man for our Hanni

A jailbird

Someone who takes whatever

comes his way

I've had two women in my life...

after the war... and then you

You'll turn him in?

Should I wait 'til they're caught

in the park?

We'll be ruined

She'll be expelled from school

And I'll turn to long-distance

driving, to keep away from her

We couldn't stay in this town,

anyway

Right, tomorrow I'll turn him in

You ought to sleep on it

That wouldn't change the facts

I am dead tired

Growing children mean growing

troubles

That's what my mother always said

-That's the place

-It's padlocked

I can break it open

I don't know, suppose it goes wrong

Then, don't do it

No one can force you

Where are you going?

I'm going home

You won't take advice, will you?

Do you think I care?

If you want to get rid of me...

-I won't stop you

-I didn't say that

It's all because of you, they'll find

out that I'm pregnant

It's not that I'm not worried about it,

but... I don't want to lose you

I must think it over

Not too long, they'll soon find out,

they are not blind

I need some time

I can do it myself...

...but if I do

I don't want to see you again

Allright, I'll do it

I'm the men here

It's men's business

I knew you'd protect me

when you did give me a child

-It has to be done

-It's him or me

He has to go

He has to go, because we

need room

I want to tell you something

Leave me alone, all you ever tell

me are things I don't want to know

Franz wants you to know something

Have you met again?

I'll kill you if you have

He just wants to apologize

He said:
"Tell your father I'm

working in the woods again...

...and I'll wait for him there"

"I want to shake hands with him,

and apologize"

"Because I reckon I ought to, to

put things right"

He has a bad conscience

You can't refuse someone for that

What does he know about

conscience?

We haven't met since I promised you

it was all over

Now he dares to look you in the face,

is that a bad sign?

I know his trouble, he's afraid I'll

turn him in

He admits he was in the wrong, he

won't go against you again

Because I can break him

Don't refuse to do it, he really

is in earnest

Then, let him come to me

Then people will see us together

Over there is nobody

Besides, you've got a car

I'm not wasting petrol on him

See him after work today

at half past four

Allright, face to face then, that's

what I've always wanted

Maybe it's well if he sees me

When he lies to my very face,

I'll tell him that next time...

...I won't go to the police...

I'll kill him with my bare hands

That'll sort him out

It really is for the last time

Better not tell mother, she'll only

get worked up

I don't need your mother for this,

it's between him and me

-It's men's business

-I think so too

Cold

Do you want my coat?

-Then you'll get cold

-No, I'm too hot

Put it around me, if you're cold

I give it back

I'm not cold

Why is he taking so long?

We'll get cold when it takes too long

Put it on properly, then you

won't feel cold

It's ok

Did you bring any cigarettes?

They are in the left pocket

-There aren't any matches

-Maybe in the other pocket

Nothing

I've got matches in my purse

But that's at home

They'll have some at the Kiosk,

shall I go there?

No, it's not that important,

we just won't smoke

He'll be here soon, then we'll

get some on the way home

It won't be long

-What if he doesn't come?

-He will

-It was stupid to forget the matches

-You can smoke two at a time, soon

We can go to the Kiosk when we

get home

Then the girl will know that

we've been here

Nobody knows us here

Nevertheless

Still you can't be sure

Waiting is boring

We could go to the cinema tonight,

shall we?

-What's on?

-There's always something

He's coming

See him?

I told you he would come

I expect he was held up

He must be nearer, or you'll miss

-How near then?

-I don't know how close

You should try

Going the wrong way, I told him to come

here, he never listens

Try a shot now

You got him, but not properly

He fell down, but he's still alive

Shoot again

Now you've got him!

He's dead!

Can't you sleep?

I'm waiting for father, go to bed

Where can he be?

Engine trouble, I expect

I hope nothing has happened

-An accident?

-Maybe

But he has driven for twenty years

without an accident

Can I do anything for you?

I had some coffee

Go back to bed

You must sleep too

I'm not tired yet

He'll be back soon

I'm going to the toilet, then to bed

There's no end to our troubles

He'll be here soon, you will see

Just wait for a while

That's right

He is found

-My husband?

-Yes

How do you know it's really

my husband?

Officer Strecke identified him,

he knows him

He was an acquaintance

Why didn't he tell me, then?

Because he is dead?

You only believe things if they

are in writing

You want to identify him?

It's true enough, he's been shot

An entire magazine, eight shots

Why then?

Pistols usually have eight shots

I didn't know that

Women needn't know about weapons;

at least, they're supposed not to know

May we come in?

Why? We've just done the house work

-Doesn't matter

-Is your daughter in?

Leave it to me to tell my daughter

We must ask her some questions

Ask me

My husband is my concern

Let's go in, then we'll talk

Go to your room, this is not

for children

-Is this your daughter?

-Who else

I'll call you when you are needed

What is it?

Have they got father?

Where is he?

She'll have to know someday

Daddy passed away

Now get out, or I'll box your ears

It's no place for children

It's sad, very sad. They found him

in the woods, shot

He was found by some passers-by

Dead?

I told you he was dead

Where is he now?

In the morgue

It's a case for the coroner

What's he to do with it?

You must be prepared for the worst

after four weeks

We would like to ask you

a few questions

Perhaps we can start with you

miss...

You don't seem to be very upset

Because I already suspected

something

Otherwise he would have

come home, or written

If dad knew you weren't crying

he'd killed you

Grief also can be inside

Exactly

-Everything's fine

-I haven't any pain

How do you feel in yourself?

With a belly like that

I've lost my figure

I look a real sight, just like a frog

It'll all be over in a month

-I got red streaks on my feet

-That's normal in pregnancy

But it's ugly

You get a child as reward

Are you glad about it?

If it wasn't for the kid I wouldn't

be in prison

It's your own doing

Maybe? The stupid kid is the

cause of everything

The child is not to blame

You must understand that

-What is it?

-Nothing

Why?

Because it's dead

It died two minutes after it was born

Died?

It wasn't right, it was deformed

A boy or a girl?

It would have been a boy
